Union Berlin, Recent FormIt's fair to say Union Berlin will have been relatively pleased with a point from their last encounter with Heidenheim, a match that ended in a 2-2 draw. They came away from that fixture with 58% of the possession and clocked up 12 attempts on goal with 3 on target. By comparison, Heidenheim managed 10 attempts on goal, with 4 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 6 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 5 and seen valuable points lost. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but playing at home, they have conceded a goal in 8 of their 11 games this season.
They have been performing well at The Stadion An der Alten Försterei recently and are unbeaten in their last 6 home games.
Borussia Dortmund, Recent FormThe Borussia Dortmund squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 3-2 home defeat against 1899 Hoffenheim, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. Their share of possession in that meeting was 70%, while racking up 21 shots along the way, 7 of which were on target. 1899 Hoffenheim had 9 shots on goal with 5 on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 13 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 5 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. They've kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 6 away games, and they've scored in 21 of their 23 games overall this season.
There will be mixed feelings from Die Borussen, having been undefeated in their last 6 away league games, but drawn the last 2 of these games.
On an individual basis, Niklas Füllkrug is showing great form in front of goal having scored 6 goals in Borussia Dortmund's last 6 league games
It was one to forget for Union Berlin last time they met Borussia Dortmund in the league, falling to a 4-2 defeat.
In their previous 3 encounters with Union, Die Borussen have shipped at least one goal in those matches. In their recent meetings Dortmund have had no problem breaking down Die Eisernen's defence, having found the back of the net 13 times in their last 5 games.
Union has lost the last 2 times they've faced Dortmund in the league.
Dortmund man Marco Reus will be out for more of the same in front of goal in this match against Union, having bagged 2 goals in the last 3 encounters between these sides at The Stadion An der Alten Försterei.
There is only really one injury concern for the Union manager Nenad Bjelica ahead of this clash, with Yorbe Vertessen (Muscle) missing out, which gives Bjelica a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
Edin Terzić has a number of injury concerns in his Dortmund squad to contend with: Sébastien Haller (Ankle), Gregor Kobel (Groin), Felix Nmecha (Hip) and Niklas Süle (Illness)
